DoorsOpenTorontoMan, do I love four day weeks. Now that Stevie is in power with a majority, do you think we could get him to make this law? Unfortunately, it looks like this weekend might not be the best for outdoor activities as Environment Canada is calling for a wet couple of days in Toronto. And why is that bad this weekend of all weekends? Read on.

Doors Open Toronto: May 28 & 29

This is it! Our opportunity to see Toronto’s great and interesting architecture up close and personal. Check out Toronto’s web site for details about this annual event. I’ve been out a few times and it’s a great way to get in to see some buildings that normally may be off-limits to the public. Our city has a number of interesting places so why not check out what’s in our own backyard?

The web site has a short video highlighting some of the buildings you may or may not be familiar with. Plus, there’s a comprehensive list and a map of where they are. Be there or be square!

Lottery Stuff

As I previously reported, Mr. David Rennie of Campbell River, British Columbia was the sole winning ticket for last Friday’s Lotto Max clocking in at an unbelievable thirty-five million, seven hundred and thirty-eight thousand, seven hundred and ninety-eight dollars. One ticket. No sharing. All for him. I can’t wait to experience such a feeling first hand.

Click here to see a video report from CHEK-TV a local station on the island telling the story with an interview with Dave Rennie and his family. As Dave says, “It’s surreal.”

For Ontario, the WCLC is saying that Wednesday’s winning 6/49 ticket was purchased in Ontario. Hey, that’s a cool $3,144,631.80. Where does the eighty cents come from?

Lotto Max update: $10 million split 2 ways in Ontario

Yes, friends this could be my lucky day. Maybe your lucky day but please, me first. According to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, the ten million dollar grand prize of Friday’s Lotto Max was split between two winning tickets both purchased in Ontario. I have stars in my eyes. And imagine, we still have tonight’s Lotto 6/49 with $3.5 million.

Check out Cinema Clock for all the latest films. If you’re not going downtown for Open Doors, you can always make a night of it at the movies. Kung Fu Panda 2 rated 78% at Rotten Tomatoes. Hangover Part II came in with 35% so don’t waste your money. Personally, I’m inclined to go for Potiche, a French film with subtitles; 83% is a pretty good rating. Seems like an artsy thing to do.
